I don’t recall the last time I was so impressed with a restaurant. The food, atmosphere, and service were all spectacular. This was our first time, primarily because it’s difficult to reserve, but know I know why. I can’t wait to return.

Service is attentive, professional, and at the same time casual. Bar is very comfortable if a bit loud when you’re right under the speakers but bartender adjusted them. Food standouts were the grilled olives and asparagus with morels. Rest of the food including a ‘three-finger’ Bistecca alla fiorentina were very good. Main dining room is cosy low tables and there’s a strip of outside tables enclosed by greenery from the parking lot. The open kitchen next to the bar with the Argentine grill was not being used the night we went. Don’t know if they’ve permanently moved the kitchen or only use it on busy nights. Top 4 of my steakhouses in LA.
